3B: Can athletes and sports be the best way to transmit values?

In this project we will discuss about the values transmitted by sport, then we will see how athletes can be seen as “heroes” and after that we will see the dangers with which athletes are confronted and which sometimes turn them into antiheroes. We will also discuss about the impact of technologies on the athletes’ performances or new opportunities.

Mission 1: What is a value?

A. How to define values

By groups, they have to list the different values they consider as human values.

Then we watch two videos and they have to focus on the values shown

Then we make a recap and we can make a work on word construction with the suffixes, prefixes to create noun from adjectives, adjectives from nouns, antonyms.

Each group has to write a paragraph to define the values and to prepare an oral presentation of that.

B. Who embodies these values

Each group complete the paragraph by giving examples of people embodying these values, which enable them to give a definition of “heroes”
